In the battle of Corinth the Confederates, in
four close columns, were pressing upon the
Ohio Brigade with the Intention of breaking
the Union line, but the terrible steadincss Of
the fire of the Federal troops drove them back
in confusion. AT this iuncturc the Ninth Texas

reventh Ohio with their colors flying at the
head OF the column, and advanced TO within six
yards OF the Federal line, when orrin B Gould,
II private Of Company G, shot down the Confed'
crate color.bearer and rushed forward to grasp
the flag. A Confederate oiricer shouted to his
men TO ''sGvc the colors," and At the same mo-

ENGLISH ETIQUETTE.
A Ludicrous Story of Insuiar Stiffness Tol
by the Elder Dumas.

n
by the Elder Dumas.
Dumas, the elder, loved to laugh at
the expense of English stiffness and re-
serve. One of his stories was this: One
day Victor Hugo and / were invited to
dine with the Duke of Decazes. Among
the guests We're Lord and Lady Pal
merston. OF course this happened be-
fore the February revolution. AT mid
night tea was handed around. Victor
Hugo and l were sitting side by side,
chatting mcrrily. Lord and Lady Pal
merston had arrived very late, and there
had consequently been no opportunity
to introduce us before dinner; after din
ner it seems it was forgotten. English
custom, consequently, did not allow us
to be addressed by the illustrious couple.
All at once young Decazes comes up to
us and says: MY dear Dumas. Lord
Palmerston bcgs that you will leave II
chair free between you and Victor
Hugo" l fastened to do as he wished
We moved away from each other and
placed chair between us. Thercupon
enters Lord Palmcrston, holding the
hand of his wife, leads her up to us, and
invites her to sit down on the empty
chair-all this without saying word
"My lady," he said, ''what time have
you?" She looked at her watch and
answered, "Thirty-five past twelve. :"
"Well, thcn," said the great Minister,
remember well, that this day at thirty
five minutes past twelve, you were sit
ting between Alexander Dumas and
Victor Hugo, an honor which you will
probably never enjoy again in your life
time Then he offered his arm again
to his wife and took her back to her seat
without saying word to us--becausc
we had not been presented!-Nineteenth

Iynclied by A Mob.

? opELIKA. ALA, Nov. 14.-George Hart. the murderer of Eddie Waldruth, was taken out of ail here last night by mob of loo, and carried near Waverly in this county. to the scene of his crime. and lynched. The sheriff had retired. door. Thinking it was prisoner being brought in he opened the door when the mob rushed in and oyerpowered him, went into his bedroom, found his pants, secured the keys and took George and carried him of. He was brought here from Montgomery Tues day morning and his trial set for November II, 1887. He and John Hart cut Eddie Waldruth's throat. Wald- ruth was an estimable, upright young man, and stood high in the community. After they had murdered him they robbed him of $G0. John was caught, hung and burned soon after the crime. While our people condemn lynch law they have no sympathy for George Hart.
 Later, 5:3o p. m.-The body of George Hart has just been found hang ing to the tree upon which John Hart was hung. The body had several bullet holes in it and a piece of paper with tue following pinned on his coat: "This negro was hung by 100 deter mined men, whoever cuts him down will receive his fate"

 NEW ORLEANS, LA., Nov. 12.-Previ- ous to the Pattersonville affair, in which i've negroes were killed, the town was crowded with striking ne- groes, who outnumbered tine whites ten to one, causing not little alarm, as they were idle, drinking and ugly, jeering the troops and talking rIotously. The shooting dispersed them. and next day not half-dozen were 10 be seen in town. They are struggling back to- day Troops were sent last night to Berwick City, where it was announced the negroes were congregated and threatening, but they dispersed before the militia reached there. To-day an- other detachment was ordered to Jean eret.e, where trouble was anticipated. No news has since been received from that point. A number of conflicting versions are given of the Psttersonville affair, but the best evidence is that the negroes were threatening, but did not fire. They crowded around the whites when some irregular firing caused . be- lief that an attack had been made on the posse and resulted In the fusilade in which the lives were lost. The strike is now confined mainly to St. Mary. The Washington artillery have been ordered to Houma to take the place of the Louisiana field.

Rejoicing over an oil Well.

ALLEGAN, MIcH., Nov. l2.-Allegan is all ablaze tonight. Pots filled with petroleum taken from tho newly dis covered oil well are burning in every street. A barrel was sold to-day for s, and at o'clock this afternoon the barrel was loaded on dray and with the directors of the Allegal Mining Company was carried through the streets. preceded by the band, and de- liyered to the purchaser. The streets were crowded with people to witness the sight. At a meeting of the stock holders Saturday night it was decided to continue the drilling carefully, talk ing time to make tests. To-day about fifteen feet more was drilled, The quantity was Il ghtly increased, while the quality is far better than at first The opinion ofexperts is that we have an immense volume of oil of superior quality in this locality. and already several private parties are negotiating for the drilling of other wells.
